💗 Do what you must to take care of yourself, this must include your mental health. Be good to yourself.
It’s perfectly fine to turn off your TV, the news, social media etc.
Go for a walk, cook a healthy meal, visit a friend, snuggle with your pet, take a scenic drive, soak in the tub, have a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa, go to the place where you find peace.
If you are struggling, please dial 988.

You have to create little pockets of joy in your life to take care of yourself.

NoH8 Campaign at Wolfpack Clubhouse

💗

The heroine must become a spiritual warrior. ... She must not discard nor give up what she has learned throughout her heroic quest, but learn to view her hard-earned skills and success not so much as a goal but as one part of the entire journey. She will begin to use these skills to work toward the larger quest of bringing people together, rather than her own individual gain. This is the sacred marriage of the feminine and masculine--when a woman can truly serve not only the needs of others but can value and be responsive to her own needs as well.

Maureen Murdock

Today, strive to remember the warrior that lies deep within you. If you have traveled far from your needs, reunite yourself with their remembering. If you have hesitated to consciously acknowledge your own value, may this be the call to reorient with your worth, through gentleness, kindness and compassion for you first. Meditate on what you need most. See what comes.

Happy Friday the 13th 💗

Listen up

Then just pipe down
Speak up but don’t speak too loud
Don’t be dull but don’t be wild
Be fun but don’t act a child

Age gracefully but don’t look old
Know your mind but do as you’re told
Embrace your curves but don’t get fat
Love yourself - no, not like that

Know your worth but not too much
Else they might feel inadequate
Wear make-up, look natural though
Stand your ground but don’t say no

Choose the right path - but for who?
Right for them or right for you?
Right for who they’d rather see
Or right for who you’d rather be?

Listen up

I’ll tell you this
This life of yours is yours to live
So pick the path that’s right for you
Not the one they tell you to

‘Cause their obsession with your path
Is not your future - it’s their past
So don’t pipe down and don’t speak up
Just because they say you should

Own your silence, own your wild
Own your magic, inner child
‘Cause if you don’t then all their noise
Will soon become the loudest voice

And you won’t hear the voice within
That says

“you can be anything”

Ellen DeGeneres, where are you? ♥️

💗

We know that when we lean in to support another, we are sustaining our own circle of belonging.

If a person’s heart has been shut down or denied, they might develop a fierce self-reliance that prevents them from reaching out.

But while this independence may look outwardly impressive, at its core there may be a deficiency of trust in others, which is the great glue of our belonging.

The more we reward this image in others, by praising them at a distance, the greater the difficulty they’ll have in contacting the hidden gems of their own heart.

While we cannot force someone to receive, we can make ourselves useful to them without them asking.

It is often the most resilient and generous among us who are longing for support."

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Daniel aka Marv Ellis. This man was incredible & his absence will be felt heavily in our community. He fed the hungry, he fought oppression, he championed freedom & worthy movements!
He was a mover, a shaker, a hero.

Marv 💔 We loved you beyond words & will miss your Shine terribly. We are all forever grateful for your unwavering service to others. You are simply irreplaceable!

Someone wrote that you were the Prince of Kindness…so true, so true.
You will be the brightest star ⭐️ in the sky.

Please show up at tonight’s Anderson School Board Meeting & show your support against “Outing” students. 5:30pm

Our response to the Anderson School Board’s proposal to “Out” students to their parents.

They asked me if she was strong.

And I said yes.
I said yes without hesitation.

Because I’d seen her pick her heavy heart up off the floor, even when it weighed a ton.

Because I’d watched her claw her way back from rock bottom, even when it was a steep and treacherous climb.

Because I’d seen her lift herself up and drag herself through life, even when she was tired and weary to her bones.

Because I’d watched her persevere, persist and press on even when she was carrying the weight of her world on her shoulders.

And they told me I’d misunderstood.
They meant how strong was she physically?
How much could she hold in her hands and carry in her arms?

But it was not me who had misunderstood true strength. It was them.

Because they hadn’t realised that
all too often,
the heaviest things we hold
and the biggest weights we carry

are the things that can’t be seen.

💗 Shine on Marv! We love you. What a positive difference you make in the world.

Underground Good: Marv Ellis – Shasta Scout “I just genuinely want to leave the world a better place. If I make a little bit of a difference, when I'm gone, I can be happy knowing that I did my best to make something better. And I think if we all did that, you know, the next generation would have it better than us.”

We be rollin’ 💗

💗 Happy Mother’s Day to you all!

For the Sisters and Sister Friends
The Aunties and Cousins
The Step Mothers and Mentors
Girlfriends and Godmothers
For the Women
Who will not get a card
Or macaroni necklaces
Or brunch
Or flowers
Who stand in the gap
Who encourage and love
Who guide and protect
Who Mother Us
Who Mother the Motherless
Who Mother us when our Mothers
Are far from reach
Whose voices We long to hear
Whose arms We wish could hold Us
For the Women who some how manage
To be an echo of Love
We never had
Never felt
But desperately needed
Today is for You too
For the Women
Who show us what Motherhood
Can be
When some of us have
Memories that ache like phantom limbs
Pain from the removal
Pain from the missing
Pain from what should be
But isn’t
We celebrate You today
For loving Us
When We felt so unloved
When We told ourselves
Who can Love
Me
If my Mama can’t
To the Women who helped Us heal
Thank You for teaching Our hearts
To receive
For the nobody’s Mamas
The Women who chose not to
And are judged
Who are constantly asked
When will You
When are You
Who are told
Your clock is ticking
To the Women who whisper
To younger Women
You don’t have to be a Mother
You don’t have to be a wife
You can choose any life
And You are still worthy
Today We thank you
For Mothering Yourself
Fearlessly
Paving the way for choice
For the Mothers with empty arms
And full hearts
That crave to hold
To pour love in abundance
Who have tried
And feel that they have failed
We honor You today
We hold space to mourn with you
You can take off the mask of
I’m ok
We know this dream is so big
That when it breaks
You can’t breathe
We honor Your strength
We hold You in Our hearts
We will celebrate Your rainbows with You
Today We honor the Spirits of
Motherhood
More powerful than just a womb
Existent even when She has left us
Even when She comes to Us through
Other souls
Even when She has hurt Us beyond
Comprehension
We honor the Women who love away
The pain
Today We honor you
We raise a glass
We shout in gratitude
Thank you to the Women
Who didn’t birth Us
But Mother us with love Abundant
We humbly thank You
For Your hands in the small of Our backs
Pushing Us forward when We are afraid
For the words we needed to hear
That are louder than Our doubts
For showing Us by example
For leading with love
For being the Women who inspire Our
Spirits
Today is for You too
Happy Mother’s Day
